Honestly, I don't care if the phone gets updated to Gingerbread or not. There is little difference between Froyo and Gingerbread. Certainly not as much as Froyo-Eclair difference. Plus I am not fan of the new Gingerbread taskbar, but that's just me. What I care more is to get an update that fixes the annoying glitches of the phone like the exchange intermittent push.
[Droid 2 Global General] ben7337:
I honestly didn't notice any differences between froyo and eclair from the experience I had with both. I still don't use app2sd and that's the big thing everyone was claiming, aside from so called speed improvements which I don't see. However Gingerbread has the gpu do the graphical work of the OS instead of the CPU the ways 2.2 does right? From what I understand that should fix all the fun lag we see when web browsing and doing other simple things which you almost never see in iOS or mobile systems. To me that is potentially a big deal.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
yes, gingerbread has speed improvements which includes gpu generated transition graphics and such, you may not thing that its major, but when a phone that is laggy and choppy as hell with froyo gets gingerbread and all of a sudden its as silky smooth as a top of the line phone, i.e. the OG droid with gingerbread to the D2G, that is definitely a significant change.

Recently ditched my EVO (well Sprint Buy Back-ed it) and am waiting for new devices to come out (View and 3d). Yea, I know... Summer is a ways away yet.

Anyway, I have left a few EVO things that I can part with if anyone wants (and mods, please move / delete if I'm not allowed to do this here. Didn't see a sticky) including the Sprint Extended Battery (2600 mAh) with black cover and external charger to go with them, and the HTC HDMI dock.

$40 shipped for all three if anyone is interested?

EDIT: Found an old EVO cloth armband that will be included.

[Off-topic] TabletConnect:
As we tweeted earlier today: Although we have heard this rumor before, we are actually surprised (in a good way) that RIM has confirmed that its upcoming PlayBook will support Android Apps. This is a both a win and a loss for RIM. Its a win because consumers can access the 200,000+ Android apps. The PlayBook will be a strong challenger to Motorola's Xoom for the non-iPad tablet crown. On the other hand, it is a loss because RIM may feel that its own apps (25,000+ Blackberry Java) are not strong enough to compete with Android or Apple's iOS AppStore.

"RIM will launch two optional "app players" that provide an application run-time environment for BlackBerry Java(R) apps and Android v2.3 apps. These new app players will allow users to download BlackBerry Java apps and Android apps from BlackBerry App World and run them on their BlackBerry PlayBook."

Consumers will download the app players from BlackBerry App World which will then be placed in a secure "sandbox" where the BlackBerry Java or Android apps can be run.

The only downside is that the new app players will not be available until this summer. However, this feature makes the PlayBook more attractive.

So an unofficial version of Android Player was leaked today. Here's a video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jIAp8VnC49E

It's running 2.3.3...

Here's my question: will it be possible to hack it/root it/whatever and install a custom ROM and be able to use full QNX and full Android in the Android Player?

I currently have a voodoo kernel on my Mesmerize with 2.1, and now that the update for Froyo is available as of today should I wait for a compatible/updated version of Voodoo to arrive before performing the update?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
We've all been running 2.2 for months now with voodoo. It's not a full voodoo kernel, but that is coming soon. If you are completely happy where you are at, you could wait a couple of weeks and by then the new kernel should be out. If you want to update and use what we have now, it's all ready to go.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wcouri:
Yeah I've known about the leaked version for a while I just figured I'd wait. Good to know there will be an updated voodoo kernel in the near future
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Ditto. I rely on my Mez for work in addition to play and even the occasional FC is unacceptable. It needs to be rock-solid stable. I had an issue with my first SD Card that came with mine that was triggering incessant scanning and lock ups... and at very inopportune times... and I nearly had a meltdown. :( I wish I could Beta test for you Devs that are doing such amazing things, but I just can't. (But keep up the good work!!!) I'm also running just Voodoo on a rooted 2.1 Mez and the performance is far from lacking, but like wcouri I just need a stable voodoo'd 2.2 where everything just works to make me happy.

[Venue Pro General] counterfeit1204:
Hey guys

I'm thinking about going to Microsoft Store and picking up a Dell Venue Pro,

however I'm kind of worried about the DVP's well known freezing issues.

Can you guys please tell me your DVP's production or manufacture date?

and if you are experiencing any crashing or freezing problems.

I'll really appreciate it if you can include your model (8GB model or 16gb)

I also like to take the answers from US consumers, just because people in India is getting a DVP with a NODO update. ;(

Thanks guys.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
I believe MS Store still only carries the 8GB model which in general has been far less problematic than the 16GB. I don't think the build date will help in determining the stability.
[Venue Pro General] counterfeit1204:
yeah...thanks for the reply

I called two different MS store today, and the CS Rep told me that

they are only carrying 8gb version of DVP.

I also asked them to check the production date on the retail packaging,

and foud out that they only have DVP from December of last year.

Should I just go with 8gb version of it and do a SD card swap?
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
If you want the 16GB I'd still get it from Dell even with the risk that it may be bad. Replacing the card yourself will void the warranty.

If you do decide to get it at the MS Store, I got mine there in December so it is likely from that same batch. Mine has been pretty trouble free.
[Venue Pro General] uKnowChinchilla:
Hey counterfeit1204,

I was also worried about the manufacture date of the Dell Venue Pro and release issues. I have recently purchased my Dell Venue Pro (8GB) on March 14, 2011 directly from dell's website. Based on the information of the box, the manufacture date is 01/23/2011. I have been using the phone for 3 days since March 22 and I can say that it has been running stable expect for a lock-up of the screen after charging it, while surfing the marketplace and while using the maps software. Other than that though, it seems to running just perfectly fine in other aspects. I would like for them to fix that lock-up screen issue that seems to occur at random moments on my phone. So far it hasn't frozen on me again from charging it or surfing the marketplace. I haven't tried to see if the maps causes a lock-up again. Here's a link to the forum briefly discussing the issue - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936649

[HD2 General] Specialk47150:
Alright, I bought an HD2 from a friend used. He complained of service issues, I assumed this was due to the lame Win 6.5 OS and perhaps an older radio. He says he took it to a T-Mo store and had them check the hardware, apparently they said it was all good and just needed an update.

So, I get it home, root it and flash Android on it. Currently running the Bluetopia ROM. I also flashed the newest radio. Still have terrible service, but I can pop my SIM out and into my Galaxy S Vibrant, Mytouch 3G, or G1 and get signal fine.

What could be the problem? Any solutions? Thanks for the help.

Also, before it is said, I did search, nothing came up.
[HD2 General] Specialk47150:
77 views and not one suggestion???
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry man but if you have the most recent radio version 3.15.50.14 on your HD2 and other devices get good reception where you are at. Then you probably have a hardware issue with the internal antannea.
[HD2 General] Specialk47150:
3.15.50.14? I thought the latest radio was 2.15.50.14?

It is way smoother and faster than previous stock HTC sense ROM.

However, I encountered a strange problem.

When I tried to share the links from Google Reader app or built-in browser to Twitter, it only includes the link without the head of the page.

I tried couple client like official Twitter client, TweetDeck, Opera and Firefox.

None of them works out.

I just got it today, it feels really nice compared to the one I got at the Verizon store. I'm definitely taking the Verizon garbage back. This was really inexpensive, and seems like it will protect my phone just fine. It also seems like you could get a full body Zagg/Skinomi/Body Guardz/Ghost Armor in there too, but it'll fit snug.

Yeah awesome case. TPU is the best. I have grey argyle and posted about in in another thread - very good choice for cheap.

Are the Amzer ones on Amazon $10 plus shipping? I got mine for 6 dollars with free shipping. Dirt cheap, stylish and decent protection! They seem to be IDENTICAL to the Amzer ones.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] RaptorMD:
I had an Amzer case like this for my DroiodX, but I found the areas that covered the buttons too stiff to get a good feel for when they were actually pressing the buttons underneath. What is the consensus on the feel of the covered buttons?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] wrb123:
the plastic covering the power and volume buttons is very stiff. you can still press the buttons through the plastic and i don't see why this would make you choose a different case.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Hagbard57:
Yeah, I got the Verizon silicone one which I don't mind but I am going to snatch the Otterbox one up the second it hits. Had it on my Eris forever and it saved my Eris from several drops.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] RaptorMD:
Did you cut into it to accommodate the extended battery? I got the argile one's for test cutting, then I am figured I would go for the HTC ones like you posted.

I took the opportunity to slam HTC in the survey they sent me for their piss poor lack of accessories available on their site, since the ThunderBolt isn't even listed, and that they had so much time to actually make a case that fit the extended battery and failed to do so.

Seriously everyone has an extended battery and no cases is no excuse.

Hey All,

I was hoping for some help.

I did a nandroid backup of my mikfroyo setup. I only selected the default settings when doing the backup, should I have selected anything else?

When I went to restore, I wiped cache, dalvik, and data reset, and then did the nandroid restore. When I rebooted I got to the first mikfroyo screen where but it never made it to the second where the letters light up one at a time, it just looped on the first screen with the "flame" type effect comes out, over and over.

I tried a battery two times pull but it did the same thing.

Any thoughts???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What recovery are you using? I'vei swear I've heard that with Amon Ra 2.3 deleting the android.secure folder from you'r sd card will alleviate that problem. I've never had an issue, but I'm almost positive I've read that somewhere around here. Also, maybe try wiping both dalvik cache and cache right after you restore your backup, but before you boot.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
might not help much but, for next time you do something like that, everytime i do a nandroid with amon ra i select everything there is to backup, worked flawlessly every time, if you backed up your apps and data with TB or myback up you should try reflashing your rom again

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
Thanks for the replies. I have about 18 G left on my SD card so it is not a space issue. Maybe I will delete and backup everything???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Don't rule out the possibility that the backup could be corrupted. I just found the post I was referring to, about deleting the android.secure folder. The recommendation was to wipe sd-ext and delete the android.secure folder from the sd card. If you really, really need to restore that backup, and don't want to start fresh, you got nothing to lose by trying that. I'm actually not sure if wiping sd-ext formats the entire card or not, so as a precaution, I'd back up the contents of your card. Although I'm sure it wouldn't delete the entire card, because then there'd be no nandroid backup left to restore!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
So in the options, there is...

Boot

System

data

cache

recovery

wimax

sd-ext

.android_secure

So from what I have gathered from you all, I should...

1) delete the .android_secure folder.

2) Boot into recovery, select nandroid backup, select EVERYTHING there is to select, except for .android restore

When I might want to flash back from a different ROM back to my mikfroyo setup, I would

1) wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset.

2) select nandroid restore

3)Reboot system

Do I need to do a Caulkins Format all before I do the restore?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
I have never backed up sd text or android_secure, and I have never had a problem restoring a nandroid. The android_secure is for the apps on your sd card, you can save those with titanium or mybackup.

And to answer your question about flashing/restoring to a different rom. Yes, wipe data/factory reset, dalvik/cache, and cache. You can use the format all before/after if you choose to just, just to be sure it all gets erased. Then do your restore :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
Do you still have your .android_secure folder on your sd card?

I was told to delete it from the card.

Do you select "recovery", as well, when you ar doing a backup?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
Yes. It will automatically create a new android_secure folder when you begin downloading apps :) And yes I choose recovery. And listen to K2Buckley also. Guy is genius. :)

I have a 2010 Hyundai Tucson. When I pair with the car, both phone and media audio play perfectly. When I leave the car and the connection is broken, the audio driver apparently becomes corrupt.

All the audio (phone, alarm, media, etc) gets routed through the earpiece and not through the speaker.

There is a constant subtle "click" from the earpiece as well.

The only solution is a soft reset and it fixes it until the next time.....
